failing to effectively enforce its
environmental laws. Where the

meets the criteria set out in paragraph
2 and 4 of Article 17.7, and where the
Secretariat considers that the
submission, in light of any response
provided by the Party, warrants
developing a factual record, the
Secretariat shall so inform the Council

shall prepare a factual record if the
Council, by vote of any Party, instructs
it to do so. For more information on
factual records, see the Web site of the

from which the Secretariat shall select,
as appropriate, individuals to assist the
Secretariat with the preparation of

Consistent with the obligation of
paragraph 2(d) of the Understanding
and paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 5 of
the Agreement Establishing a Secretariat

judgment, objectivity and environmental
expertise;

shall not have ex parte contacts with any of

proprietary;
